Intent: To give LoF some decent parabolic artillery
Development Thread: No
Manufacturer: Iron Crown Productions
Model: Akure-class Parabolic Artillery Tank
Affiliation: Lords of the Fringe
Modularity: Seismic charge launchers can be swapped out for concussion missile launchers
Production: Mass-Produced
Material: Durasteel armor
Description: The Akure-class is capable of lobbing a seismic charge nearly twenty kilometres, making it a medium-range, high-damage parabolic artillery piece. The twin quadruple launchers can be fire-linked or independently targeted, barrel-by-barrel. Each seismic charge is fired inside a disposable, thruster-equipped, single-use inertial dampener to prevent premature detonation. The shots are purely parabolic, not guided in any way. The thrusters are solely for increased range.
The Akure-class presents a major danger of friendly fire and must be deployed very carefully, by experienced commanders. A misfire can wipe out entire friendly units.
It is named after the biggest, nastiest terentatek ever. Just because.
